Good to spend today in Edinburgh at a networking event for organisations funded through the Scottish Government’s Inclusion & Community Cohesion, Equality & Human Rights and Improving Access Funds.

It was a valuable opportunity to connect with other organisations working across Scotland, share experiences and discuss some of the challenges and opportunities ahead — including tackling hate crime and strengthening our relationships with the new Scottish Government.

It was particularly encouraging to hear a continued commitment to the importance of social cohesion and inclusion, and to have the chance to reflect together on what that means in practice for communities across Scotland.

Thanks to Inspiring Scotland for bringing us together — and to everyone at our table for such thoughtful discussion.

G'mar chatima tova. Sending warm wishes to our friends on Yom Kippur.

Yom Kippur is the holiest day of the year in Judaism. It is a time to reflect on the past year, ask for forgiveness, and reconnect with God.

Yom Kippur is observed with a 25-hour fast when adults abstain from all food and drink from just before sunset until nightfall the following day.
